…these new glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the side of the building. Beneath peoples’ feet lies the sprawling Illinois city – 103 stories, or 1,353 feet, below. Just an inch-and-a-half of glass separates the visitor from the street underneath. The attraction is due to open in June.
I would definitely go to see this, but it might really freak me out.
CN Tower in Toronto has a glass floor over 1100 feet above the city:

I’ve been to the CN Tower in Toronto. Luckily that distraction in the foreground wasn’t there to obscure my view. It’s pretty neat once you get up there. Ill check out the Sears Tower next time I visit Chicago.
Cleaning up the puke will be a full time job. Jonco needs a few more votes to pull ahead.

I am off to Sauget Il, heading to the OTB parlor.
Right now Jonco is ranked #23 of 662 entries submitted.
DJ, great link, what tower?
Klaw – You have to look hard.
According to my daughter (7 years old) things like this “make her butt nervous”. I never knew a good way to describe that feeling until she said that.
I never made it to the OTB parlor, but got a bet on “Hold Me Back” to win via the telephone. I went here instead.

This looks similar to the Skywalk that is located on the Hulapai Reservation near Las Vegas that extends out over the western part of the Grand Canyon.
What a race! “Mine That Bird” is a great horse. The owner bought him for $9,500.00. LOL,dunno.
Is it me or do the reflections look photoshopped?
Jonco’s up to #20 of 662 submitted…
Oh dear god. What could possibly go wrong…
a lotta crap can go way wrong in a short period of time.
Walking out on the glass is nothing. Jumping up and down on it and bouncing off the sides… now that’s a dare. And probably a free ticket out of the building.
I’m surprised the building owner’s insurance carrier allowed this to be built.
bring a glass breaker for added excitement.
